Community Food Pantry

Students in all grades of MSAD #51 have been
involved at one time or another in the donation of food to the Community Food
Pantry. Whether it is through food collection boxes, community outreach
or even the trek up the hill to physically drop off the food, MSAD #51 actively
supports the Community Food Pantry. First Grade Teacher Theresa
Cameron Raymond works with others on the monthly donations collected at Mabel
I. Wilson School and says she is amazed by the generosity of the students and
the parents (THANK YOU!!).....and this support continues - at a new
location!

On November 2, 2012 the Community Food Pantry opened its doors at
the Cumberland Town Hall. The new
location provides longer hours and more convenient space for the approximately
150 families in need of assistance in Cumberland and North Yarmouth. Honoring the Food Pantry and the donations by
the students, especially this time of year, would be enough of a Spotlight, but
it is important to recognize the helping hands that made the move possible.

Building and painting the shelves would not have been easy without
the help of four admirable people. As Cumberland
Town Manager Bill Shane put it "(Greely High School Assistant
Principal) Mar-e Trebilcock pulled this together on very
short notice and sent three excellent workers. They were awesome! These young men pulled off a monumental task,
with positive attitudes, hard work and a willingness to listen to my Old School
music for 4 hours." Hat's off toGHS
students Tim Storey, Kyle Bickford and Alex Moore for doing such a wonderful
job!

This hard work was followed up by another incredible team of
stockers and organizers -community members Karen Campbell, Jean Lamson,
Susan Novak, Jeanne Chadbourne and students Sarah Fitch and Emily Fritzon. If a picture states a thousand words, the
small piece of the pantry pictured above can show you just how much work these
amazing ladies put into making the pantry attractive and easy to use.

Please remember the
Community Food Pantry on your next trip to the Town Hall and bring a donation
to help families in your local community.
